Hi,
I am guessing that I am not the only one that finds that different ranges require different set ups. Ours in Batemans Bay for example requires a very high rear bag and or a spacer or a low front rest as the 500 range is slightly downhill, and Wagga range is significantly up hill requiring either a lot of elevation in the front rest and or much lower rear bag setup.  Canberra from memory is somewhere in between,

Having tried both leather and Coudra, I much prefer courda with a bit of powder on them front and rear. I tried silicon spray on the leather, but it seemed to dry sticky. I haven't tried it on courda.

What variety of bags do others use ?  Where do you buy them from ?  Most of the good ones that I have seen for sale (edgewood and protektor) seem to be around 3 1/2" to 4" high to the bottom of the ears.  Where do you get lower ones ?  Custom made higher ones are available from either Protektor or edgewood.  Most gun shops seem to only sell the very basic ones (caldwell and similar).

Cheers
Anthony
